Title: Cloud-based electronic payment processing
IPC: G06Q20/08
Filed: 2014-07-29
Abstract: A payment processing server generates a cryptographic key pair, provides a mobile device with one cryptographic key of the key pair over one communications channel, encrypts a payment number with the other cryptographic key of the key pair, provides the mobile device with the encrypted payment number over another communications channel, and saves the other cryptographic key in a database uniquely in association with the payment number and a financial account. The mobile device decrypts the encrypted payment number with the one cryptographic key, and provides a payment terminal with the decrypted payment number. The server receives the decrypted payment number and a transaction amount from the payment terminal, determines the financial account by querying the database with the decrypted payment number, and effects completion of a financial transaction with the financial account in an amount equal to the transaction amount.

Title: Enhanced crude oil recovery using metal silicides
Inventor: KRUMRINE PAUL H
IPC: E21B43/267
Filed: 2012-06-14
Abstract: Enhanced oil recovery techniques include introduction of alkali metal silicides into subterranean reservoirs to generate hydrogen gas, heat, and alkali metal silicate solutions in situ upon contact with water. The alkali metal silicides, such as sodium silicide, are used to recover hydrocarbons, including heavier crudes where viscosity and low reservoir pressure are limiting factors. Hydrogen, which is miscible with the crude oil and can beneficiate the heavier fractions into lighter fractions naturally or with addition of catalytic materials, is generated in-situ. It. Heat is also generated at the reaction site to reduce viscosity and promote crude beneficiation. The resulting alkaline silicate solution saponifies acidic crude components to form surfactants which emulsify the crude to improve mobility toward a production well. The silicate promotes profile modification passively via consumptive reactions or actively via addition of acidic gelling agents.

Abstract: A portable rescue tool that is powered by an electric motor. The electric motor has a drive output shaft that transfers rotational power to an angle rotary gearbox. The angle rotary gearbox has an output shaft that is oriented about 90 degrees from the rotational axis of the motor output shaft and is geared so as to increase the torque and reduce the speed of the rotational power. The angle rotary gearbox provides a reduced speed, high torque output at an output shaft that is delivered by a single chain drive to a main rotary actuator where two actuator arms are controlled to move away from each other and toward each other in the operation of the rescue tool. The portable rescue tool is designed to be of a low weight and enhanced cooling properties as present rescue tools.
